to get started.

Beds were very comfy. Pool area was great. Easy walking distance to lots of restaurants/shops. Check in cookie was awesome.

Tonya, United States of America

Recently renovated so it's beautiful! The rooms are pleasant and comfortable. Beds are especially comfy!

Sunyface, United States of America

The property was centrally located near plenty of places to eat and the beach. The hotel and the surrounding area was clean and I felt safe. The rooms were spacious, clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable. I got a great nights sleep. I enjoyed walking around the area shopping and Cannery Row was less than 10 minutes away. This was a perfect location.

Danielle, United States of America

The walk around th harbour first thing in the morning. Valet parking service and helpful staff.

Martyn, United Kingdom

Rooms were great. Checking out via TV was new and informative. The location was very convenient especially due to its proximity to the pier.

Deb, United States of America

Valet were friendly, everyone at front desk and reservations very friendly and thoughtful! Kept me informed on reservation and room availability

Olga, United States of America

Just about everything and especially not having to pay for wifi.

Elizabeth, United States of America

Exceptionally good service and courtesy from all the staff

John, United States of America

Told them we were coming for my wife's birthday. They had a bottle of wine waiting in the room with a card. Very nice, unexpected touch.

William-arthur, United States of America

Excellent staff and services! The stay was worth every penny! Would stay again, but more than one night!

Tim, United States of America

Great location!

눉Room was a little tight with two queen beds for the price but that's Monterey
눇breakfast buffet was great, good deal. construction noise was almost over and light clean room, nice balcony, close to what we wanted = fisherman's wharf, downtown Jacks was a little too open for our likes but Peter B's was great casual lunch/early dinner

“Disappointing.”

- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉NO air conditioning. Ceiling fan was extremely noisy and floor fan did not cool or reach two full size beds. Could not open windows wide enough to let the breeze in. Beds too small for a good night rest. Room was clean but appeared dirty due to chipped paint on doors. Lobby is muched needed of update or at least clean carpets. Over all not a good experience.

눉Distance from the elevator to our room was almost comical :) but not a big minus for the most part. Parking lot was pretty full - granted it was a weekend. Didn't love my Caesar salad.

눉The elevators were too slow. But I can deal with that!
눇Being greeted by the valet parking staff was very nice. They did a very good job with helping me understand how valet parking works and continued greeting me and my family as we entered and exited the building through the front of the hotel. The trees looked so awesome and beautiful in the lobby! Staff: First I need to say that I love Allison. She is so beautiful all around! She was SO very sweet, polite, personable, kind, friendly, courteous, and professional. She gave me the pleasant surprise of being able to keep my Harbor room for two nights instead of only one. Allison's sweet smile and the pleasant notification of my reservations started it all. Everything else in between was very pleasant, from the location of our nice and clean room, to the sweet service from the maid, pleasant voices on the phone, tasty food being brought in by awesome room-service staff, and I'm sure other luxuries I regretfully cannot recall at this time. The pillows were awesomely comfortable, as well as the bed. I slept peacefully and didn't even take my Melatonin pill to stay asleep! Lol The location of the hotel was a major plus! I've never pleasantly walked [so much] to and from my hotel room as I did this past weekend!! It's right in the middle of everything I love. It ended sweetly with another pleasant staff member, Vivian. She was so very helpful, kind, and professional with a very sweet smile. My family and I very much yearned to return to the hotel and our room after our visit to the aquarium!! My wife and I have already decided to stay at the Portola for our anniversary in September, although I hope to be able to visit again before then. The location of the Portola Hotel and Spa is a major bonus for me.

눉Property was overly priced compared to value. We asked for high floor to have better view outside but room window was opening towards noisy road to view road.Staff mentioned No breakfast even after paying 450 + per night as booking was through Booking.com / third party vendor.

눉The lack of air conditioning combined with our window overlooking the parking garage. There are a lot of noisy motorcycles in Monterey! I think they all parked in that garage!
눇The location was perfect for visiting family who live in downtown Monterey and for walking on the recreation Trail.
